LARRY FLYNT: THE RIGHT TO BE LEFT ALONE |
In a timely response to a current political situation where the fundamental civil rights of Americans are being challenged, the film offers an eye-opening and authoritative overview of Flynt's long-standing struggles to expand the parameters of free speech and expose the hypocrisy of this country's elected leaders. Featuring rarely seen documentary and television footage, as well as in-depth interviews with Flynt himself, the documentary focuses on the self-confessed smut peddler's usually contentious entanglements with politics--from his precedent-setting Supreme Court case against evangelist Jerry Falwell, to his prison sentence for refusing to name his source for the tapes documenting the FBI's entrapment of John DeLorean, to his campaign runs for both California governor and President. |
